At this moment, inside Konoha's base, when the Uchiha Clan's Ninja Cat appeared, Uchiha Shisui looked at the scroll that had been delivered and immediately showed a look of shock and anger.

He immediately rushed to Hatake Kakashi's tent.

"Kakashi, the village has attacked Brother Yoru!"

With Shisui's explanation and the information sent by Uchiha Yoru, Hatake Kakashi's expression turned serious.

"I discovered this secretly and informed Brother Yoru, but what does Brother Yoru mean by sending this? Is he making arrangements for his final affairs?!"

The information sent by Uchiha Yoru was more like a letter; it could be described as a dying wish, outlining his final arrangements.

"You've been secretly spying on Shin'nosuke Sarutobi!"

While Hatake Kakashi was shocked by Shisui's audacity, he was even more furious about the current situation.

"That bitch has disappeared! What mission? She's probably after Brother Yoru, damn it!"

At this moment, Shisui was filled with anger, and looked at Kakashi with an urgent expression, "Kakashi, Brother Yoru is clearly going to become the second White Fang. He has chosen to give up in the face of this situation."

"The second White Fang!" Upon hearing this, Hatake Kakashi instantly changed, and he stared at the other person with a gloomy expression.

"Shisui, it's too late for us to come to your aid now."

In his anxiety, Shisui's Mangekyo appeared in his eyes, and with the added power, he revealed a ferocious and crazed expression.

"Kakashi, my eyes can stop everything!"

"Shisui, you've gone mad!" Seeing Shisui's somewhat deranged expression, Hatake Kakashi glared at him urgently.

"Your eyes are indeed very sharp, but how can you hide them from the village's higher-ups? Once discovered, there will be no way to save Ye Lai."

"I have a plan!" At this critical moment, Hatake Kakashi remained remarkably calm and immediately came up with an idea. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Since you've been secretly monitoring the other side, what is the strength of Shin'nosuke Sarutobi's guards?"

Upon hearing this, Shisui was anxious, but as an excellent ninja, he forcibly suppressed his anger and urgently tried to calm himself down.

He may lack political acumen, but his talent as a ninja is absolutely no less than that of Hatake Kakashi.

"At night, three squads take turns providing protection, and during the day, two squads rotate shifts every three hours. There's also Shin'nosuke Sarutobi's habit..."

After suppressing his anger, Uchiha Shisui calmly recounted all the information he had gathered in great detail. Hatake Kakashi listened with a solemn expression, nodding secretly after hearing certain details.

"Shisui! What exactly is your eye ability?!"

After activating the Mangekyo, they didn't reveal their respective abilities, but there was a general range. For example, he knew that Shisui's eye ability was related to Genjutsu.

A ninja's trump card is never easily revealed. At this moment, under these circumstances, facing Hatake Kakashi's question, Uchiha Shisui almost hesitated and directly revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan ability in a deep voice.

"My Mangekyo Dōjutsu is the Genjutsu 'Kotoamatsukami,' which can alter a person's will. The Kotoamatsukami of my left eye can rewrite the will of the person being used on, so that they will forever follow my specific instructions. However, it consumes too much Eye Power, so it takes ten years to use it again after each use."

"The right eye 'Kotoamatsukami can control the person being stunned without them even realizing it, making them act according to my will, but it consumes a lot of Chakra, and it takes three days to use it again after one use."

Uchiha Shisui Mangekyo Kotoamatsukami, or rather, double Kotoamatsukami, similar to Obito's double Kamui Mangekyo, except that each eye had some differences.

As can be seen from the original work, Shisui's Mangekyo Kotoamatsukami is the most powerful and is known as the strongest Genjutsu, but it should be noted that it is a pair of eyes.

Itachi obtained the Kotoamatsukami, which can permanently rewrite the enemy's will, while Danzo obtained the Kotoamatsukami, which can only temporarily affect the enemy's will.

This can be seen from how Shimura Danzō Mifune of the Land of Iron during the Five Kage Summit using this eye.

"Kotoamatsukami!" When Hatake Kakashi heard this Dōjutsu, his scalp tingled with shock, but he quickly calmed down.

"Shisui, there has never been a perfect Ninjutsu in the world."

Faced with Kakashi's question, Shisui silently nodded and said, "That's right. There is no perfect Ninjutsu in the world. Even Kotoamatsukami is not necessarily invincible. But with the Mangekyo Dōjutsu's enhancement and my willpower, I will not fail."

Kotoamatsukami's power is built upon himself, influencing and even rewriting the thoughts of his enemies. This requires him to possess a strong will, as well as the enhancement of his Dōjutsu.

Theoretically, a strong will can break all Genjutsu in the world, but the caster's will is no weaker than yours, so you simply cannot break it.

The consumption of Dōjutsu and Chakra must also be taken into account, but it must be said that Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is powerful, practically defying the heavens.

"My Mangekyo Dōjutsu: Kamui allows me to forcibly sever an enemy's limbs from a distance and send them into another dimension, within my field of vision."

Now they are on the same page. After Shisui revealed his Dōjutsu, Kakashi calmly revealed his Mangekyo ability as well.

"Shisui, are you confident you can influence Shin'nosuke Sarutobi without making a sound?"

Faced with Kakashi's question, Uchiha Shisui, a true Genius Ninja (excluding political matters), instantly understood its meaning.

Shisui calmly nodded, "My left eye is fine against someone as insignificant Shin'nosuke Sarutobi."

A person's will can be completely rewritten without them even realizing it, but what about those they know? What about back in the village?

Therefore, Kakashi never intended to completely rewrite it from the beginning. Moreover, Shisui's Dōjutsu is a sure-kill move, but it also has strong limitations, as it can only be used once every ten years.

"I think the more powerful the Genjutsu, the more it influences the opponent's thoughts and actions, and the more contrary it is to one's own beliefs and ideas, the more Dōjutsu and Chakra you need to consume."

As expected of the Kakashi Hatake, his greatest strength lies in analysis. Every time, he accurately analyzes the opponent's weaknesses, achieving the greatest effect with the least cost.

Faced with Kakashi's analysis, Uchiha Shisui simply nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go report to them together later. Then you can take the opportunity to subtly influence Shinnosuke's thinking, getting him to go and scout the rear. We'll make our move outside then."

When it came to taking action, Hatake Kakashi rarely revealed a cold glint in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You and I will secretly join forces, masked, to capture Shin'nosuke Sarutobi as quickly as possible, and then create the illusion that the Front Line Commander was ambushed and captured by the Mist Ninja."

"As long as there is turmoil in the base, Ume Sarutobi will have no mind to cause trouble outside, and the Night's predicament will be resolved."

It must be said that Hatake Kakashi was very thoughtful, and Uchiha Shisui was no fool either. After his impulsiveness subsided, he calmly nodded at this hastily made and somewhat crude plan.

"I know your concerns. During the ambush, we'll both be masked. I'll use Genjutsu to control the enemy, and you'll go straight in and seal them. Don't give them a chance to react. And that bitch Ume Sarutobi! I want her dead!"

Shin'nosuke Sarutobi is the son of the Third Hokage and also the commander-in-chief at the front, which makes him a significant figure, so they cannot take action against him. However, he is unwilling to tolerate a lowly servant girl for even a moment longer.

Upon hearing Hatake Kakashi also revealed his killing intent towards Ume Sarutobi ninja from the same village. He nodded directly and said in a deep voice, "The Orochimaru incident, and this time too—this man's ambition is so great and his heart so vicious, he cannot be allowed to live!"

Even Hatake Kakashi agreed to the idea of killing Ume Sarutobi. After all, according to the rules, based on the Lord Orochimaru incident, Ume Sarutobi should have died, and not just a hundred times.

Without comparison, things would have been fine, but now that there's a comparison, Kakashi feels a surge of anger and dissatisfaction.

His father, Konoha's White Fang, caused significant losses to the village due to a failed mission, and after enduring so much pressure, he chose to commit suicide. So what about Ume Sarutobi?

She framed and plotted against Orochimaru, a candidate for Hokage, and even created chaos within the village. Because of her ambition, the village's Border Instability, and now they are all being harmed by her at the border.

In terms of the damage inflicted on Konoha, it was even greater than the failure of his father's mission back then. And how were the two sides treated in the end?

The failure of Konoha's White Fang's mission was a huge scandal, known throughout the entire Shinobi World. But what about Ume Sarutobi? Almost no one in the village knew about it, and despite her initial righteous execution, what happened now?

Raising it high and lowering it gently, it truly reflects the spirit of the Sarutobi Clan of Konoha.

It was precisely this abuse of village power by the Sarutobi Clan that caused Hatake Kakashi's dissatisfaction to escalate to the point where he was already considering making the village bleed.

Reform requires bloodshed, and he hoped to start by taking action against those who recklessly trampled on the village's rights, using their blood to allow Konoha to rise again from the ashes.

"Alright, time waits for no one. We don't know what this wretched woman's war plan is, so I'll go now."

Shisui nodded in a deep voice and chose to act as quickly as possible, while Kakashi secretly prepared the tools needed for concealment.

Face masks are essential, as are sunglasses! They can conceal their Mangekyo to prevent exposure in case of an accident.

After all, the appearance of the Mangekyo, if accidentally exposed, would only bring disaster to the Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Yoru, who was walking towards the edge of town, was unaware of what was happening here, and he could never have imagined that Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui had turned to such a dark side.

They were actually going to take action against the village's ninjas. Because of all this shocking corruption, the two of them became even more determined to reform, even if it meant shedding blood.

Now, Kakashi, after his dark turn during his time in the Anbu, is extremely terrifying. He secretly aspires to become the sharpest blade on the road to reform, and the sharper he is, the less damage the village will suffer.

Thirty miles west of the city, a gentle breeze swept through the bright sunshine, stirring up a cloud of dust. This was an open field.

A cloud of dust rose, revealing two figures: Kōbe Yoru and Sesshomaru, or rather, Uchiha Yoru.

A giant cloud bed moved slowly across the sky, blocking out the sunlight and casting a huge shadow over the earth.

A series of clapping sounds rang out, and a dozen masked figures appeared on a mound. The leader was clearly a woman, who was clapping her hands.

"Heh, very well. As expected of the proud Uchiha Clan, they actually have the audacity to come here for this appointment."

Wearing a mask and with a similarly disguised voice, it was impossible to tell who he was.

"Since you are from Root, you should know the consequences of slandering our Uchiha Clan. Release them now!"

Uchiha Yoru stared directly at the group of Root ninjas, their faces grim, and unusually, invoked the threat of his powerful backing.

Don't worry, everyone's alright.

Wearing a mask, Ume Sarutobi smiled and beckoned to her subordinates. Mei Terumi and the young Tsunade were immediately taken hostage and forced forward.

"Look carefully, the person is definitely alright, but!" As she said this Ume Sarutobi's eyes suddenly revealed a mocking look.

"But should I call you Kōbe Yoru, Sesshomaru Uchiha Yoru?"

Faced with Ume Sarutobi's direct and provocative revelation of his name, Uchiha Yoru fell silent.

Ume Sarutobi, however, laughed unrestrainedly, placing her Kunai defiantly against Mei Terumi's neck, and teasingly said, "Don't be afraid, I'm saving you both. You've both been fooled."

"They're all the same person. Let me tell you, someone from a powerful family, the most dazzling genius in this Noble Houses, do you think they would marry a commoner? Do you think they would really be with you? He's been using your identities to cover himself up."

"Fairy tales about heroes rescuing princesses are all lies. Even if they were true, the hero might be a hero, but what about you? Are you princesses?"

Looking at Mei Terumi and the teenage Tsunade with a mocking gaze, Ume Sarutobi's eyes revealed deep contempt.

"You're despicable, but you guys are actually quite useful; you actually managed to lure this brat here."

Ume Sarutobi's provocation was entirely aimed at undermining the opponent's mentality. After all, ninja battles never follow martial ethics, and an impulsive person would expose their weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Tsunade and Mei Terumi were gazing at the two figures in the distance with complicated feelings. They had known each other's identities from the beginning, but their arrival made them somewhat irritable and restless.

Ninjas are all about deception, all kinds of tactical deception, but even under such deception, they still act somewhat against their conscience.

"What? Planning to use two identities to pick up girls? Tsk tsk, I must say, Noble Houses young masters really know how to play. Using Shadow Clones to play with two stunning beauties at the same time, one of whom is a young girl."

At this point, Ume Sarutobi provocatively Kunai Tsunade, her eyes fixed on Uchiha Yoru, and chuckled, "How old is this girl? Twelve or thirteen? Tsk tsk, I've long heard that people from big clans love to play this game, and seeing it today, it's truly well-deserved."

As the Shadow Clones dissipated, the two figures in the distance, their faces grim, revealed Uchiha Yoru's true appearance.

"The Great Sword: Samehada is with me. Your Root should be able to investigate everything. Release them."

After dispelling the Shadow Clone, Uchiha Yoru immediately summoned the Great Sword: Samehada, seemingly to prove his innocence.

He destroyed his Wood Clones when he arrived here, using Shadow Clones instead, since it wasn't the right time to expose his Wood Release.

I need your support.
